Emtek Knurled Narrow Modern Rectangular Pocket Door Mortise Lock (2" x 7-1/4")

Backset on the Emtek Narrow Modern Rectangular pocket door lock is 2-1/8 inches, measured from the door edge to the center of the lock body. The trim plate is 2 x 7-1/4 inches and sits 1/8 inch proud of the door face. If the door you are replacing was cut for a different backset or a shorter plate, you will be enlarging the mortise and patching the face, so check the existing pocket against those two numbers before you pull the old lock. Screws and a strikeplate come in the set.

Four functions are offered on the Knurled Narrow Modern Rectangular pocket door lock. Keyed is the one to use where you need a key to secure the opening, such as an office or a store room. Privacy gives a thumbturn lock for a bath or bedroom with no key. Passage latches and pulls only, no locking, for a closet or a hall opening. Dummy is trim and a pull with no latch at all, for a door that is held some other way or that never needs to catch. All four come in the same eight finishes.

Only with each other. Emtek pocket door mortise locks key alike as a group, but they may not key alike with other Emtek products, so do not plan on putting a pocket door on the same key as an Emtek entry set or interior mortise lock. Keying is a free option at order time, either keyed different or keyed alike, and you can also submit a key code if the building already runs one.

For the lock itself, nothing. It ships as a complete set with the screws and the strikeplate, so the jamb side is covered. What is not in the box is the pocket frame and track. If you are framing a new pocket rather than retrofitting an existing one, you also need a frame kit like the Orca Hardware PK1200, which is set up for 1 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, or a track such as the NGP SLAL250PD72, a 72 inch aluminum pocket door track rated to 250 pounds.

Emtek builds this lock to the door thickness you specify, with 1-3/8 inches as the floor, so state the actual measurement when you order rather than assuming a standard slab. If you would rather buy a lock with a published range that covers a thick door, the Weslock 0577 privacy and 0527 passage pocket door locks are listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Pamex PF1 and PF2 run 1-5/16 to 1-9/16 inches, so they are the wrong call on anything heavier.

The Omnia 7035/A is a keyed entry pocket door lock with modern rectangular trim and solid brass construction, which puts it in the same territory as the Emtek knurled narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock ordered in the Keyed function. Both are brass, both carry rectangular modern trim, and both lock a pocket door with a key rather than just latching it. The Emtek runs a 2-1/8 inch backset with a 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch trim plate and is offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Confirm the Omnia trim footprint against the existing mortise pocket in the door leaf before committing, since the two are not a shared cutout.

The Weslock 0577 is a rectangular privacy pocket door lock with an adjustable backset and a full lip strike, rated for a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek knurled narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock also starts at a 1-3/8 inch minimum door thickness, but it is built to a fixed 2-1/8 inch backset and the actual door thickness has to be specified when the order is placed for every function. On a remodel where the leaf thicknesses vary door to door and you do not want to track a thickness per opening, the adjustable-backset Weslock 0577 takes the guesswork out; where the door thickness is known and consistent, the Emtek is a direct fit in the Privacy function.

For heavy use, the Deltana SDLA325 is a heavy-duty adjustable pocket door lock at 3-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch in a privacy function, and the Rockwood 891 is a pocket door privacy latch. The Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular pocket door lock with a privacy function and an emergency release, which is what a bathroom or bedroom door in a managed property usually needs so staff can get in from the corridor side. The Emtek knurled narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock is a brass residential-grade mortise lock ordered in a Privacy function on a 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch plate; it suits apartment interiors and single-family work, while the heavy-duty Deltana and the Rockwood latch are the ones to look at where cycle count is the deciding factor.

They are not interchangeable. The Pamex PF1 is a square style sliding door lock and the PF2 is a round sliding door lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and both are built for doors 1-5/16 inch to 1-9/16 inch thick. The Emtek knurled narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock uses a 2-1/8 inch backset with a 1-3/8 inch minimum door thickness and the actual thickness specified at order, and its trim is a narrow 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch rectangular plate rather than a square or round rose. The PF2's 2-3/8 inch backset means a different mortise position in the door edge, so swapping either Pamex into an opening prepped for the Emtek, or the reverse, means re-cutting the leaf.

Seven, and they map to the standard US codes so you can match the rest of the openings: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). Every one of the seven is available in all four functions, so a job with a keyed office door and privacy baths still finishes out identically. Unlacquered brass is the one to think twice about on a fleet, since it is a living finish and will darken unevenly from door to door.

No handing to call out. The Knurled Narrow Modern Rectangular pocket door mortise lock is non-handed, so the same part serves a door that slides left or right. Door thickness is the spec you do have to get right on the order.

The Knurled Narrow Modern Rectangular pocket door lock is a residential product, solid brass through the body and trim. It suits apartments, condos, hotel back-of-house and light multi-family work. For a school, hospital corridor or anywhere the opening cycles hard all day, look at a heavy duty pocket door lock instead, such as the Deltana SDLA325, which is built as a heavy-duty adjustable unit in privacy function.

Privacy function on the Emtek Knurled Narrow Modern Rectangular gives you the thumbturn side for a bath or bedroom. If an outside emergency release is a requirement for your building, the Omnia 7012/L is a modern rectangular pocket door lock specified with privacy function and emergency release, and it is the closer match on that point.

A mortise unit like the Emtek Knurled Narrow Modern Rectangular buries the lock body inside the door edge, with a 2-1/8 inch backset and a 2 x 7-1/4 inch face plate that sits 1/8 inch off the door. You get a flush look and a stronger latch, but you are routing a pocket into the slab. Simpler edge latches, like the Rockwood 891 privacy latch, are a much smaller cut-in and quicker on a retrofit where you do not want to open up the door. Choose mortise when the door is new or already prepped and the trim look matters; choose the smaller latch when you are working on an existing door with minimal disruption.

On a biparting pair, one leaf carries the working lock and the other usually takes dummy trim so the two faces match. The Knurled Narrow Modern Rectangular is offered in dummy in every one of the seven finishes, so you can pair a keyed or privacy leaf with a dummy leaf in the same finish and the same 2 x 7-1/4 inch rectangular plate. Order both to the same door thickness.

The Omnia 7012/PD is a modern rectangular pocket door lock set with a mortise edge pull in a pair dummy function, which is the arrangement used when a bi-parting pair needs matching trim on both leaves and only one of them needs to latch. The Emtek knurled narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock is also ordered in a Dummy function on the same 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch rectangular brass plate, so the active leaf can take a Keyed or Privacy function and the inactive leaf can take the Dummy in the same finish and knurled trim. Emtek pocket door mortise locks can also be keyed alike with each other, which matters on a pair or a run of doors that should share one key.

Two items in the pocket door aisle get mistaken for lock substitutes. The NGP SLAL250PD72 is a 72 inch aluminum pocket door track rated up to 250 pounds, and the Orca Hardware PK1200 is a pocket door frame kit for 1 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. Those carry and house the door; neither latches or locks it. The Emtek knurled narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock is the lockset itself, a brass mortise lock with a 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch trim plate that mortises into the leading edge of the door and comes as a complete set with screws and strikeplate. On a new pocket door opening you will typically need both a frame or track and a lock; on a hardware swap in an existing pocket, the lock alone is the part in question.

The Emtek knurled narrow modern rectangular pocket door mortise lock carries a rectangular 2 inch by 7-1/4 inch contemporary trim plate 1/8 inch thick. Where a round trim is wanted, the Orca Hardware PDLRD is a round pocket door lock in a privacy function and the Weslock 0627 is a round passage pocket door lock with an adjustable backset and full lip strike. For square trim, the Orca Hardware PDLSQ is a square privacy pocket door lock and the Pamex PF1 is a square style sliding door lock. A compact rectangular option is the Deltana SDL25 at 2-1/2 inch by 2-3/4 inch in privacy, or the Deltana SDL60 decorative privacy lock at 6 inch. Trim shape changes the mortise and the face cutout, so pick the shape before the door is prepped.
